Ingredients
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add gnocchi and cook according to package directions until tender. Drain and set aside.
- While gnocchi cooks, slice the button mushrooms. Thinly slice the scallions, separating white and green parts. Dice the tomato.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon butter and 2 teaspoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook until golden and browned, about 5 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add the white parts of scallions and cook for 1 minute. Stir in garlic powder, mushroom stock concentrate, cream cheese and ¼ cup water. Whisk until cream cheese is melted and sauce is smooth.
- Add the cooked gnocchi, remaining 2 tablespoons butter, Parmesan cheese and truffle seasoning. Toss gently until gnocchi is coated and sauce is creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a small dry skillet, toast panko breadcrumbs over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden and crisp. Remove from heat and stir in a pinch of garlic powder and salt if desired.
- Serve gnocchi topped with toasted panko, diced tomato and green scallion parts.
Recipe Tips
For extra flavor, use a mix of mushrooms like cremini and shiitake.
To make it vegetarian, ensure the Parmesan is vegetarian-friendly.
If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of pasta water to loosen it.
